Chimay Rouge (Red)

Pours a copper color with a soapy tan head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, and malts. Taste malts, mild yeast, and apricot. Nice beer. Not quite a blue.

Copper colour with a bubbly/foamy head and bubbles from the bottom. Aroma of fresh apricots, random fruitiness. Flavors of apricots (at end of tongue) with a pleasant bite and a sharp palate.

pours copper. Nice cream colored head that thins somewhat but does stay. Does seem to have an aroma of apricots. Medium mouthfeel. Nicely caronated. Tastes of malt sweetness with medium bitter with slight sour finish. To be honest, my sample was from a store that didn’t refrigerate the beer. Who knows how long it had been sitting on a shelf. I’m sure if I had it in Belguim, I’d rate it much higher.

Large bottle - Amber brown/red colour, tiny head, aroma of dark fruit and malt, flavour of malt and spices yet a hint of sourness, not a bad beer but I prefer the rest of the range

Bottle. Plenty of fruity esters in the aroma. Bananas in 2% milk topped with sugar. Dry grassy yeast. Pours dark, hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Flavor is pleasant with a lot of yeast. Quite dusty. Some figs and raisins but the yeast component is big. Medium to full bodied with mouth filling carbonation. Oh... to find a Dubbel that I like.

lovely. Very palatable, lovely aftertaste. Aroma smells of pubs and wormwood scrubs and too many scouser beatings. (I swear on my life, I wrote that first and then the tune came on, the cosmic ballet continues) Another hideously drunk rate but this is tasting damn good. My favourite Chimay? So far, tops the tripel anyway. Really really nice. Remember to buy this.

Good way to start my ratings.Nice aroma and cloudy but interesting appearance.Nice lightly bitter taste and bitter aftertaste but could make for a good dinner beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours an amber red with light, off-white foamy head. Smells of sweet caramel malts and fruit. Has an extremely malty flavor with very little bitterness. It has a dry finish with slight notes of alcohol.
